[Half Review][Case] Ballistic SG Series for Nexus S 4G! 7/3/11

Alright guys so I have a half review for everyone. Due to me not being able to find my cable for my camera, I have pictures taken from my 4G so no pictures right now with it in the case. Will have some of those shortly! Enjoy.

Comparison to the Seidio Active

Just found that Ballistic makes a case for the 4G. Being in construction, I had one of these on my EVO 4G and LOVED it. Buying now. Great case and highly recommend it!
Since I can't do direct links I guess... Search "Ballistic Case" in Google and either click on Sprint or Samsung once in the site.

These look pretty cool! i might get one. Kinda looks like Fort Knox on your phone but stylish
Edit* post a review when you get it

Just got home from work and it's here! Post up a review later today. Check back!

Do you think this will fit the Nexus S for T-Mobile?

Most likely it will. It's labeled as the 4G so don't blame anything on me! It fits awesome! It adds bulk but no more than any Seidio case. I think the protection is better than Seidio. The fit is perfect and snug. I can't do a review tonight but I will try and find my camera to do one for this weekend or tom/Friday.

I would throw it around if it were the HC Series but the SG Series is less hardcore. I had the HC Series on my EVO and dropped from about 8 feet onto broken up concrete with no problem multiple times. This seems to offer plenty of protection though.

Alright guys sorry for the delay. I have the pictures taken I just can't find my cable to transfer the pictures... Be up soon hopefully.

Thanks this red looks real clean. How does it fit in the pockets? I just wondering cause the corners bulge

Fits the pocket pretty good for a heavy duty case. Nothing worse than any other silicone case. I shouldn't say silicone but it's fairly easy in and out. That's what she said?

Thanks for letting me know about this case. I purchased the black one and it DOES fit my Nexus S (T-Mobile). The BodyGuardz I have on the back of my Nexus S seems to help the fit but I did contact Ballistic CS and they told me it would fit.
I was looking for a replacement for Otterbox (this looked so clean and probably would have been the best case too bad they didn't make it) and I'm liking this and the Aegis.

My Ma has one of those (well, very similar to that for the Desire HD). I just don't like the pink ... afraid of catching "The Gay"
I'm just joking, pink just isn't my colour.

[REVIEW][i9023] Nilkin Hard White Case : Cleaned up the pictures!

So, my Nilkin case arrived in the mail on friday. Took 2 weeks.
The Gallery of images can be viewed here for a better look and experience. HERE
So here's the package.
Link1
Comes with a screen protector ( Not gonna change my screen protector yet )
Link2
And here are some pictures of the case being naked. (without the phone)
Link3
Link4
Link5
Link6
Link7
Link8
Link9
Now for pics with my phone with the case
Link10
Link11
Link12
Link13
Link14
Link15
Conclusion:
Overall a very good case. Actually makes the phone look very good. Especially the back where the phone looks slick. The fact that the bottom and top are protected halfway scares me, however i can take care of the phone well so it depends on you.
The case feels quite slippery when you hold it up, so you have to grip it tightly.
Looks good on the sides and all round. Generally a very nice case to have.
I love it.
I hope this review helps you to decide and if you liked this review PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON
Thanks for reading!

Could you please resize the images? they are a way to big

Update 1: Cleaned up all the pictures, just click the links to view them

Looking good! I've been thinking of getting a case for my naked NS4G. I've dropped it waay too many times to not seriously start considering getting one.

If you keep dropping your phone you definitely need a cover. I dont think this is available for NS4G though. You'll have to look for a similar one.

Anyone bought this cover?

Nice photos! I have checked with Nillkin that they have run out of the original smooth cover and replaced by the one with tactile texture.

I think it's cheaper on eBay, but CASESSS.com offers faster shipping options and free to Singapore as well.

Been thru 5 Cases - This one is a keeper! -added VIDEO

Contents well protected and packaged. includes screen protector.
I've been thru about 5 cases - My favorite.
It's a Hard case, but covers most of the TOP and Bottom. Perfect fit. Rubberish feel on outside. Slim, sleek, and sexy.

can you upload pictures of your phone front and back?

why? It's the same as any other grey note 2 phone?

Had one similar to this one, same covered area, one drop on concrete and the screen was gone. So while it looks nice, it offers no protection against drops, be careful.

good looking, but dun like the logo
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I wonder what's underneath the sticker... err, protection film. LoL!

Hmm... It seems the device won't survive a drop with this case...

I don't think most cases are designed to protect from falls...only day to day wear and scratches.

No, but comparing pictures this covers more of TOP and Bottom than ringke
Here's some of my previous case
Made phone look bulky.
top and bottom too exposed.
Slim but felt cheap and no grip
Nicely designed but not slim
Slim, and a good compromise between size and protection with the looks.

There are some more up...just ordered one...better get them quick!

M8 carbon fiber case

Nothing special but thought I'd share. Loving it. Just arrived from Hong Kong today...it's a very tight fit to the phone and provides great shell protection to the back and ends of the phone. It cost 12 bucks with free shipping and came with an anti reflective screen protector. Shipped in about 10 days.
EBay seller's name is platinumarrow if anyone's interested.

Looks similar to an OSIR one I used to have for my iPhone.

I'm a huge fan of anything carbon fiber. But 12 bucks? That seems a little cheap for something made out of CF, doesn't it?
EDIT: It's plastic with a CF finish. Still cool. But now you've got me looking for a case actually made of carbon fiber lol

I've read that real carbon fiber can interfere with cell signals, so you might want to keep that in mind.

The only thing I've found so far is this: http://blog.laptopmag.com/best-htc-one-cases?slide=7
CF case for the M7, nothing at all for the M8 but skins. Also, this particular case isn't on their website anymore. So I dunno. But maybe CaseMate will release a real CF case for the M8 at some point or another

It looks like Montblanc isn't making actual cases for three S7 or S7E? That's too bad, I wanted to finally get one

They did make a S7 Edge case, its just not out yet its very tempting despite the $110 price tag. I was disappointed with the feel of TUMI's case, so this one might take its place.

hey massimax,
I have been looking at the Dbrand for the s7 Edge but was concerned with added thickness etc. It look promising in your pics. Any chance I can get a side view shot just to see how much thickness the skin adds? That would help me decide so thanks in advance.

All vinyl skins are about the same thickness which is ~0.22mm from the couple that I just measured. The thickness is so minimal that you will not notice it at all.

I'd consider buying the Montblanc case if it was leather but I think it's plastic.
